Hollywood Darlings (2017) s01e07 Episode Script

1 Ah, you guys I am struggling.
Georgia was up three times last night.
The sleep regression thing is not a joke.
- [cell phone rings.]
- Oh, I-I gotta grab this.
Hold on.
Beverley Mitchell's assistant.
Oh, yes, you know what? Unfortunately, she is gonna be unavailable, but she would really love to work with you.
Okay, keep her in mind for next time.
Okay, thank you.
What the hell was that? You still have your fake assistant? You know I'm not good at confrontation.
- I hate to say no to people.
- Hold up.
You act like your own assistant? How did I not know this? How did you not recognize her? She barely disguises her voice.
So that time when I asked you to go to the swat lodge and your assistant said you were getting your hair colored that day? Don't worry, I'm actually leaving right now to interview real assistants.
Oh, great! So now your real assistant can bail on me.
Unbelievable! - [cell phone rings.]
- Oh! [growls.]
Hello? Beverley Mitchell's assistant.
Who does that? It's so weird.
- I know.
- Oh, you know what? Unfortunately, she's gonna have to reschedule.
Yes, I-I will be sure to tell her her mother called.
Okay, thank you.
Girls! So, how's the work stuff going? [sighs.]
I don't know, man.
I'm in, like, a weird, like, no man's land right now.
You know, with women in this business it's like, you're [bleep.]
able, you're a mom, then you're a grandma.
You have, like, three major windows.
I'm just, like, somewhere in between.
You are so incredibly funny and talented and I know that you're gonna just be able to find the right place for you.
I'm not worried about that at all.
It's just frustrating, you know? Okay, don't look now, but there's this girl behind you - taking pictures.
- What? Of you? Do I have something on my face? - No.
- She keeps staring over here.
- She's probably a fan.
- She's probably not.
- Oh, stop it.
- I'm serious.
Have a little bit of confidence.
Listen, this tea's going through me.
I'll be right back.
Hi.
I'm so sorry.
I don't mean to be weird and, like, creepy.
I'm Jodie.
- Nice to meet you.
- Uh, Kat.
Hi, I was sitting over there with my friend Christine.
- I'm sure you're a fan and - Who? My friend Christine Lakin.
She was Al on "Step by Step.
" I mean, you were staring at her a bunch I figured you recognized her.
I was actually looking at my cousin's art instillation.
[chuckles.]
Right above her head.
- Oh! - Yeah.
- I'm I'm sorry.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
- She's featured here.
You know what? I [chuckles.]
This is gonna sound really strange, um Would you actually pretend to be a fan of hers? She's just having a really rough time right now with her career stuff and she's, you know, mom of a little six-month-old girl.
- Aw, yeah.
- You guys could bond over - some mom stuff maybe.
- Um [chuckles.]
Okay, sure.
- Keep it between us kinda? - Oh, yeah, - it's our little secret.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Oh, my gosh.
You're amazing.
Thank you.
Ugh, it's so crazy, like, ever since I had the baby, I have to pee all the time.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm sorry.
Are you Al? I mean, Christine from "Step by Step"? - Yes.
- I'm such a huge fan.
- Ohh.

Are you sleep training right now? - We just started.
- You're kidding.
- You know Come sit.
- Yeah.
- Are you sure? - Come sit.
Yes, please.
- Come join.

So sweet.
I'm sorry, this is Jodie.
- So sorry.
- Both: Hi.
- It's like, Mommy talk.
- How are you? No, I am so glad that you guys are talking because she asks my advice.
My kids are 8 1/2 and 6 like - Yeah.
- I don't remember, you know? I'm so thirsty right now.
You get so thirsty when you're - So thirsty when you're - Both: Breastfeeding.
Yes.
I have, like, hemorrhoids right now.
Oh, my gosh.
Listen, like, after you push out a baby, and then you're gonna get hemorrhoids? Like, that's what I'm like [groans.]
Maybe God is a man.
You know what I mean? - Yeah.
- [both laugh.]
Lori Beth, it's so good to see you.
I mean, I haven't seen you for so long.
I'm a little surprised that you're here for the assistant job.
I mean, I remember you from "All That.
" - I mean, you were awesome.
- I want to get in to the other side of the business.
I follow you.
I follow your blog.
It's just so inspirational to me that I think you could - kinda be a mentor.
- Oh, wow.
That's really sweet.
Okay, well, one thing that I kinda need you to do is I'm really bad at saying no.
I just don't like confrontation.
It like, just really upsets me and just makes me really uncomfortable.
So I'm a constant Yes Girl, and it really gets me into trouble and I just I really need someone to be in there and to be able to say no.
Absolutely not.
Oh, I mean, o Did that convince you? - I say no constantly.
- Oh, those were good.
It's actually perfect timing that I'm hiring you because I just got this great opportunity to direct a low-budget horror film.
- I'm so excited.
- Oh, my goodness - that is so awesome.
- Yeah, oh, my gosh, I've been thinking about doing the whole thing in one room.
Real-time.
- So efficient.
- What?! - So efficient.
- I know, so great! I know I'm taking some cues from the "Saw" days.
God, I've seen that movie, like, a zillion times.
- I'm so glad you liked it.
- Oh, the best.
I think this is gonna be, like, the perfect fit because you grew up in the business like I did, - so - I'm so excited! Mm, you're gonna love this place.
The flavors are so amazing.
It totally started out as, like, an artisanal ice cream shop in Fresno.
Ooh, they have the ironic hipster back.
What is that? It's PBR with Slim Jims and Cookie Crisp in a chocolate bearded cone.
A chocolate bearded cone? You know, I think I am gonna get a semi-normal one.
Can I get the dark chocolate covered fig with the rosemary flakes? How is your cruelty free pomegranate aioli? - Oh, yeah.
- Mm.
Can I try that? Yeah.
- Both: Thank you.
- No problem.
- Oh, this was a good idea.
- Right? Hey, thanks again for yesterday.
Sorry I was such a Debbie Downer.
Of course, like, I'm so glad I could be there, you know? That makes me feel a lot better.
You know, like, and then I cried.
- Hello.
- Because I could not - Both: Hi! - What's up, girl! - You made it! - Both: Aww.

My kids are old and, you know, at this stage it's just Mommy, you know? The "and me" part, they're in school and No, just you! Like, what am I gonna do without a baby? I just feel like it's so serendipitous - that we met, you know? - Yeah.

Okay.
Bye.
Wha What was that about? I have some bad news.
And I'm really sorry to have to tell you this, but the producer called, he's decided to go with a different director and the movie's off.
I'm so sorry, Beverley.
No, I was so excited to make my directorial debut.
It was all thought out in my head.
I was just [groans.]
You know what? Look at me right here.
You shouldn't be directing some horror film.
It's beneath you.
That's That's very sweet, I'm I'm a little bummed out.
I was really excited and looking forward to it, but, you know you know, another project will come.
- Yeah.
- Oh, yeah! - Totally.
I just - Close window, open door.
I am actually gonna go downstairs and I'm gonna go work on this.
I'm turning the kids' artwork into books for Michael for Father's Day.
I'm gonna Oh, one more thing.
Can I borrow your husband's Land Rover? - Uh - It's just that I have to go to Costco later for you and there's that - big, long list of stuff - Yeah.
I just don't think it'll fit in my little car, so I'll just go downstairs and grab the keys.
Great.
Thanks, Beverley, you're the best! Christine, where are you? I'm at this stupid sandbox workout class, okay? You didn't even show up.
Dude, I completely forgot.
I totally [bleep.]
spaced.
Christine, I'm here in a room with three of my least favorite things: sand, sweat, and people.
But you know what? I got so busy I got sidetracked.
I was, like, going through Georgia's clothes and then, you know, we were talking about sleep training and Kat came over and [groans.]
I'm so sorry.
Listen, I will make this up to you.
All right? We will go karaokeing.
We haven't done that in forever.
And, um, we'll sing our song.
Yeah, we can do "A Whole New World" and I will let you be the Jasmine role this time.
Okay, fine.
Please don't be mad.
I'm sorry.
All right, but you owe me.
Okay? I do.
I promise.
I love you.
Have a good workout.
Shut up.
I know, I just feel weird about it, you know? It's like, I introduced them, and now Christine's kinda cutting me out of all of her plans with Kat.
Well, you know, it's just Christine's just excited about another mom with a young child going through the same exact thing - that Christine's going through.
- Yeah, you're right.
I've always been Christine's number one and I want to be your number two.
- You know what I mean.
- I'm just saying.
You set yourself up for that one.
Oh, hey, that's my new assistant Lori Beth and the producer of the movie I was supposed to direct.
Hmm.
That's weird.
She was actually supposed to be on the west side.
What the heck is going on? - Beverley, hi.
- Hi.
I am so sorry.
How are you? - I'm I'm good.
- You know, I heard from your assistant about the whole thing and how you have to drop out of the movie and I'm so sorry it's not working out.
But would you do me a favor? Thank your assistant so much for recommending Lori Beth because she is a visionary 'cause she's a big director now like in Sweden or something.
She's got these It's commercial real.
It was just very expressive and I didn't get it, but I know I needed to.
You know what I mean? I didn't even know she was still in the business, but, anyway, her ideas for this movie are just incredible.
Shooting the movie, like, in one room like in real-time.
- Hmm.
- Who would've thought of that? - I wonder.
- It's just been Anyway, I have to go.
I am so busy producing.

- Both: Bye.
Lori Beth stole my meeting, took my job, used Michael's car so that she looks cool! She's stealing my life! - [exhales sharply.]
- You've hired a psychopath and you need to confront her about this.
- Right.
- You have to fire her! - Right.
- You have to tell her - this is unacceptable! - She is scary.
Look, if you need backup, you know you have me and Christine.
Okay.
Will you fight her for me? Oh, my God.
- Well, hello.
- Oh, hey, girl.

Oh, well [gasps.]
- Ooh, I have an idea.
- Oh Yeah? Okay.
Because you're not excited right now, - I can tell.
- I'm so No, no, no, no.
I think that you deserve a treat.
We're gonna dedicate a song to you.
That's right, Lakin and I are gonna sing a song and I have a feeling that you love "A Whole New World.
" So we're gonna sing that as a duet.
Uh yeah, you know, I'm gonna say no to that one because Christine knows, like, that's our song.
- So I'm gonna veto that one.
- Are you out of your mind? I mean, look, I feel like slowly I'm being edged out of your life.
All right? I mean, I have done so many things for you that nobody else would do, right? I came over to your house and I ground up your dried placenta and I put it into little capsules, okay? Who else would do that? Huh? Me! Okay? And And then And then I put nipple cream on you when you had a manicure 'cause you didn't want to mess up your nail polish, right? Who else would do that? Nobody! Nobody.
What else in your life Who else in your life What other friend would do [whispers.]
I would.
Put your [bleep.]
hand down! Christine, I have to tell you something.
She is a fake.
I went over and had to tell her who you were.
She didn't even know, okay? She's not some super fan that came over because she was all into "Step by Step.
" All right? I went over there when you were having a bad day thinking that maybe it would help you get out of your funk Which it did, but now I'm being cut out.
I don't give a [bleep.]
she's a fake fan or whatever, but why are you trying to, like, rip us apart? You know, she's, like, the first real mom friend I've made.
I just feel like I'm being replaced.
You cannot be replaced.
[groans.]
I'm so sorry.
- It's okay.
- I'm sorry.
I just I love you.
I just got really thre Kat, I am I am so sorry.
- That was just so ugly.
- Can I just tell you, like, she talks about you all the time.
- Really? - She's, like, "Yes, when are we getting together with Jodie?" Like, I think we could actually be really close all three of us.
Go sing.
I'm sorry.
I will keep my mouth shut and I will not - act like a crazy person.
- [laughs.]
How rude! How rude! - How rude! - Is that your phone? - How rude! - Ka Why is your phone say Oh what the [bleep.]
? Her home screen is a picture of you two? That's the picture we took at the ice cream place.
She totally cut me out of it.
Wait the ringtone? This picture? I don't think she was trying to replace you at all, Jodie.
Don't look right now, but there's a woman taking pictures.
You remember Kat from yesterday? - I do.
- Yes.
Wow, oh, you're a good hugger.
Long hug.
You should come to the Mommy and Me music class.
She talks about you all the time.
- Is that Jodie? - Jodie.
Jodie.
- Jodie.
- [laughs.]
She's not my friend.
She's my stalker.
I'm glad you caught me because it's about time that I told you how much I love you.
I've known that we should be friends since I watched you on television.
You're amazing.
You're so funny and I've always known that we would connect on a deep level.
When you came over to talk to me at the cafe I thought, like, this is my moment.
Our moment.
And, Lakin, I really did connect with you.
I wasn't even expecting to and I did.
Can we still be friends? - I don't think so.
- Can we still be friends? Uh, that's not gonna happen.
- Kat, I think you need to go.
- I think Yeah.
And, like, at least 150 feet away.
Just 150? Well, maybe I'll - What are you do - Oh, my God.
- Stop! Oh, my God! - Stop taking pictures! - Stop it! Aah! Get away! - Stop dive bombing me.
What are you doing? Get out of here! I love you! - Did that just happen? - [laughs.]
I don't know.
- That was the weirdest thing.
- Oh, my God.
She's insane.
Thank you so much for coming over and helping me fire Lori Beth.
Don't mind the art.
I'm doing a project for my kids.
I've got it all organized.
Just don't touch it, okay? Okay, I think I'm ready.
I've got my talking points right here on my index cards.
Hey, listen, all you need to say is, "Look, Lori Beth, I don't feel like our energies are really matching here.
So, maybe can just decide to consciously uncouple this.
" Thank you, Gwyneth.
If that doesn't work, okay, then just let me know and I will fire this bitch with a quickness.
- [exhales deeply.]
- All right? Hey, I let myself in.
What's up, Beverley? - I got your call.
- Lori Beth I am so glad you're here.
Um, I've got my friends here, Christine and Jodie, and we need to, uh, to have a conversation.
Well, I'd love to have a conversation, but there are a bunch of kids outside keying cars.

Well, Lori Beth, I think we should just wait till, uh, Jodie and Christine come back in.
I locked them out.
Okay.
All right.
All right, well, we can do this.
Uh I'm thinking that we need a coupling of unconscious We know that's that we hold on that Okay, well, um, all right.
Bev are you trying to fire me? [knocking on window.]
Oh! O kay.
All right, this is how this is gonna go down.
You're gonna give me two months severance and six months healthcare.
Whatever I have to do to get you out of my life then fine! You know, if you don't want to get taken advantage of, maybe you don't tell everyone you can't handle confrontation the second you meet them.
I knew you couldn't stand up to me.
[dramatic music.]
[shouts.]
Hey! Get your ass back here! You do not [bleep.]
with my babies' art! Here's the deal.

- No, we don't need that.
- Ah, that's not a good look.

- This is a bad idea.
- Oh.
Oh, God! Oh, boy! - [screams.]
